Daily Bible Reading Plans

Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one’s mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.

1 Kings 6 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

1Ki 6:1 - It was in midspring, in the month of Ziv,[fn] during the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, that he began to construct the Temple of the LORD. This was 480 years after the people of Israel were rescued from their slavery in the land of Egypt.

1Ki 6:6 - The complex was three stories high, the bottom floor being 7½ feet wide, the second floor 9 feet wide, and the top floor 10½ feet wide.[fn] The rooms were connected to the walls of the Temple by beams resting on ledges built out from the wall. So the beams were not inserted into the walls themselves.

1Ki 6:8 - The entrance to the bottom floor[fn] was on the south side of the Temple. There were winding stairs going up to the second floor, and another flight of stairs between the second and third floors.
